Queen's Pier in Ramsey is to be made safe, at a cost of £1.8 million.
The decision was taken in Tynwald after a long debate, during which members ruled out refurbishment, which would have cost £9 million.
The court agreed to the 'bare minimum' option put forward by Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne, which was to maintain the pier's stability and prevent any further deterioration.
Mr Gawne said it was 'a sensible and practical' decision in the current financial squeeze:
Planning application for onshore wind farm still being developed
Motorcyclist suffered fatal chest injuries in crash
Trial for trio accused of producing Class A drugs to Island
Too early for 'direct action' over cost-of-living concerns says chief minister
